Hardly anyone denies it: any Core area can come around to bite you in the ass if you aren’t careful. Some take a lot of planning to make them manageable (Lit and Arts C is full of landmines that’ll have you tackling the genesis of the archetypical peasant in Russian literature for a semester), but a few Core areas aren?...

Scratched, bitten and bruised, he would display his wounds like trophies, casually using gaffer tape to bind up a severe bite from a large saltwater crocodile that he had been wrestling in a mangrove swamp. And the Crocodile Hunter understood how his risk-taking made him a cult hero to millions in the 130 countries where his films aired: his fans aped his trademark cry of "Crikey, he nearly...
